About Our
RAIL WASH SYSTEMS
Our expertise in heavy-duty cleaning allows us to design and manufacture complex rail car washing systems that provide comprehensive cleaning in combination with superior water recycling and pH control. When complete, you can expect a highly reliable wash system that performs exactly as expected, and requires a minimum level of maintenance.
The following are common wash features of our train wash systems:
- Two-step chemical application (acid and alkaline)
- High-pressure touchless for the front of the train
- High-pressure touchless for the rear of the train
- Combination of brushes for all sides of the train
- Fresh water rinse
Our Custom Train Wash Design Process​
All InterClean train wash systems are custom engineered, and can be designed for:
- Single or bi-directional use
- Automatic or manual wash process
- Touchless, friction, or a hybrid wash
- Drive-through or rollover/gantry style
Automatic Drive-Through Wash Systems
Through our custom engineering approach, each system is tailor-made to meet the specific needs of that rail line. This ensures the appropriate solutions are used to construct the wash system and to maintain the condition and appearance of the trains and rail cars.
- Precision-engineered spray nozzles eliminate the need to stop for the front or rear wash stage or at any point throughout most touchless wash configurations.
- Strategically placed flat spray nozzles are used at the pre-soak and rinse stages to achieve a uniform clean where medium-impact spray is desired.
- Slanted, vertical, and eve brush module options.
- Counter-rotating side brush modules provide a comprehensive clean along the sides of the train cars.
- Each brush module is supported at both ends to ensure an even application of brush pressure from top to bottom.
- Single-brush units can be added to any area of the wash for additional friction cleaning if desired.
Our Ultra Gantry system is a highly customizable and effective wash solution that can be configured for various wash applications and needs, including train washes. The Ultra Gantry system features vertical and top brush configurations designed to wash the top, rear, front, and sides of train cars. With this system, there is no need to monitor train speed as it remains parked while the Ultra module moves back and forth over the rail cars performing the cleaning. Both the machine and the control software are modularized, enabling our customers to design a unique wash system specific to their needs. Some of the optional extras for the Ultra Gantry series include:
- Blowers
- Spot-free rinse
- Undercarriage wash
- Additional detergent application
- High-pressure touchless/hybrid option
- Water recycling
